Suppose we have a demand curve (D) described by P = 10 – 3Q along with two different supplycurves. The first supply curve is described by P = 2 + Q (call it S₁) and the second supply curve isP = 0+2Q (call it S₂).

In the following scenarios, you will be given a product and an event. Determine what will happen to the demand for the product based on the event, what happens to the demand curve, and give the non-price determinant that caused it to occur. (chose from the 7 determinants listed in the notes). The first one is answered for you as an example. EXAMPLE/ Product - Hamburgers Event - The price of steak increases Answer/ Demand increases - Curve shifts right - Price of substitutes 1. Pepsi - The price of Coke decreases dramatically. 2. Steak - Incomes fall due to the recession 3. Hair dye - Hair dye is successfully advertised in the media. 4. Computer software - The price of computers goes down.

Julian is interested in only two goods: good X and good Y and has M dollars to spend (and always spends it all). His uncle Paul is rich and he offered him 1000 dollars as a present but Julian did not take it and chose to just spend his own money. Julian's demand function for good X and the demand function for good Y are given respectively by XJ = 32800/(10Px + Py) and Y₁ = 3280/(10Px + Py). What is Julian's spending money "M"?
The demand for bacon is given by Q d=70-3p and the supply is Q s=2p-30. (a). Draw the demand and supply functions. Find the equilibrium quantity and price, and show them on the graph. (b). Suppose due to increased health awareness the demand changes to 50-3p. The supply remains the same. Draw the new demand function on the same graph, and find the new equilibrium price and quantity. Has the demand increased or decreased? How did the equilibrium price and quantity change compared to part a.?
